Is it time to revisit this behaviour? It's come up as being a usability
problem a few times now.
Currently if I log out of a public computer it logs me out of my tablet
device,mobile device and home computer. :(
See bug for reference [1]

Yes, this is terrible UX. Logging out or in should only apply to one
device.

Well that's
the bug then no and that should be fixed. Help us work out
why
it is occurring and let's get that dealt
with.:)
We shouldn't be designing features for edge cases!
Logout was discussed recently on the QA list [0]. The discussion lead
to Jon Robson pointing out bug 49890 [1] where Chris Steipp stated
that logout is global.
